Nice visuals, stable, but lots of bugs

Today there was an eclipse, but the app was showing the moon in the wrong place. The only way to move about the solar system is by clicking on the planets at the bottom banner (which cannot be hidden unlike the top banner); cannot click on the actual orbiting planets; cannot use swipe gestures to move around the solar system. Intuition wants me to think that clicking on a celestial body would track it’s movement as time progresses, but the user has to click on any other item, then click the desired body to readjust the camera, but time is progressing so this has to be repeated. Also there is no way to change the scale of the bodies relative to their orbits. The app says it does but it just shrinks or grows everything.That being said I do like that the app tells you when celestial events happen, and it’s very satisfying to move through time
